After a dozen days being shuffled between detention centres in the U.S., Jasmine Mooney has made it back to Vancouver.

After a dozen days being shuffled between detention centres in the U.S., Jasmine Mooney has made it back to Vancouver.

The Canadian entrepreneur, who was detained after applying for a visa at the U.S.-Mexico border on March 3, touched down at Vancouver International Airport shortly after midnight Saturday morning.

“I’m still, to be honest, really processing everything,” Mooney told reporters who were waiting for her at YVR’s international arrivals area.

“I haven’t slept in a while and haven’t eaten proper food in a while, so I’m just really going through the motions.”

    Obligatory reminder that “no special treatment” means you get treated like a Haitian or Mexican or Muslim trying to enter the US. Yes, even a white Canadian.

    In no way am i blaming the victim here, but we can learn a lesson from her experience: Don’t go.
